Wrapping up with the best of 2016!

Well, tonight is the last night of 2016!

There have been tears, laughter, memories galore, new friendships and two little girls have grown over the course of 2016. I am truly blessed to have had another year and look forward to what all 2017 brings!

So to reflect on some of the greatest memories of 2016...let me 'look back in time!' :)

Tonight was a blast!

Tonight marked the girl's 2nd annual New Year's Eve...Eve party!

Last year was so much fun but this year was too!

Tons of memories and friend fun was made!

Everything was ready for the fun!
Love this picture! Lily asked Santa for a 'best friend' necklace to give Callie! She was SOOOOO excited to give it to her tonight! :)
Time for food! :) They thought they were sooooo fancy with this little glasses of white grape juice that I had for them! :)

After we ate.........we headed down to the basement for fun and dancing!
I saw some very very VERY funny dance moves tonight!
And a lot came from Lily! :) :)
Jaycee, Callie and Lily doing 'Just Dance!' They all loved this!
See...more great dance moves!
There was basketball that was played, air hockey and ping pong! They played and played!

Addie ended up spending the night with us because her Dad had a late night trip to do so she hung with us! Alexis was thrilled that she is staying. As I type this...they have told me that they are staying up allll night and laying in these beanbags! {I shall see how long that lasts!} :)
Love the little friendships that my girls have and I love that I love them all like my own! :) :)
